avoid lint when gradle execute check

Question

could someone tell me a way to avoid executing "lint" each time I run in gradle check?

I've defined in build.gradle

lintOptions { 

    quiet true 

}

However, it keeps doing this task. The problem is that it takes ages each time I have to do a check.

Solution 1

gradle build -x lint 

Source: Gradle User Guide : Excluding Tasks

Solution 2

You can skip it using adding -x lint when you run the check task:

./gradlew check -x lint 

If you want to skip it permanently you can add this to your build.gradle before apply plugin: 'com.android.application':

tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
    if (task.name.equals("lint")) {
        task.enabled = false
    }
}

Solution 3

I just disabled the task during project setup:

android {
    lintOptions {
        tasks.lint.enabled = false
    }
}

Note: it's not necessary to put the statement inside android.lintOptions, but since it's configuring lint, it's nice to have them together.

Solution 4

Set checkReleaseBuilds to false will disable lint check on release build. Add following scripts to your build.gradle file:

lintOptions {
     /**
     * Set whether lint should check for fatal errors during release builds. Default is true.
     * If issues with severity "fatal" are found, the release build is aborted.
     */
    checkReleaseBuilds false
}

Solution 5

(Gradle 1.1.0, as packaged with Android Studio 1.1.0)

For anyone wondering how to do this with multiple subprojects, I ended up having to disable them using the root project build.gradle file like so:

task lintCheck() {
    getAllTasks(true).each {
        def lintTasks = it.value.findAll { it.name.contains("lint") }
        lintTasks.each {
            it.enabled = false
        }
    }
}

Yes, finally I've started using this commands ./gradlew check -x lint

For any future visitors, you may need to change "lint" to "lintVitalRelease" because #thegoogle renamed it.

@xbakesx I just disable all task with name starting with "lint", seem to work well enough

to which build.gradle? and where? the answer is not clear

[sandrstar]

How / where do you call lintCheck() after it?

[Zenel]

In my case I was able to add it as a dependency on build.

@SargeBorsch if you want to add the task.whenTaskAdded closure, you add it to your application module's build.gradle, and you can safely add that to the bottom of the file.

[David Burström]

Please note that the whenTaskAdded closure solution is used, it will still invoke task dependencies, e.g. compiling all sources.

perfect! worked for me. Had all other options but non worked except this
